Do you wear camoflauge to the range?

I played paintball at many different levels, including being on a sponsored tournament team for about a year and a half. I never felt the need to own even a single piece of camo. :scrutiny:

I don't know. Maybe its just a stigma supplied by the media... but hunting is about the only real use I've ever seen for civie owned camo.
 
Unless you're bow hunting, I don't see the reason to wear camo even if you're hunting, at least in my state. During rifle seasons you have to wear so much blinding orange there's no point to even pretending to look like a tree.
 
Well since the range is in my back yard I wear whatever I happened to put on that morning.:)

I did wear a camo hat today.
 
Sometimes, especially when its cold outside I'll wear my hunting jacket which is reversible blaze orange/ real tree- I'll wear the real tree on the outside because I don't want to to get the orange dirty or sooty if I can help it- If i'm shooting my hunting rifles, it just makes sense to shoot it wearing the clothes I'll be hunting in.

In spring and fall I'll often times wear a light surplus flectar, alpenflage, or snow pattern camo coat part as functionality and part as conversation pieces.

In summer, its strictly t-shirts, polo shirts and shorts for me.
 
I live in Seattle, wearing jeans & a t-shirt IS camouflage. :neener:

I do own some BDC pants in solid colours but I have never owned any camo pattern anything. Everytime I look at all the camo colours offered in the Bradley's catalog it just cracks me up.
 
I was given a camo belt and tiny duffle some 20 yrs ago...only camo I own. I keep the tiny duffle with the stuff for dove hunting, I think I used the belt once to drag game out , and to cinch something to a truck bumper once.

Smoke - you need a belt and bag...they match. :D
 
Well, in the world of chrome and andonized markers, matching flaming red jerseys, masks with one-way lenses, and cover made out of inertubes, you probably would stand out wearing camoflauge or earthy tones, rather than blending in.
 
nate... WOODS GAMES, Nate... WOODS GAMES. Remember those? THAT'S when I wear the cammies... :rolleyes:

And, mentioning such, and thinking of my wife's favorite set: funny story. We're playing a woods game in early spring: the entire field is green or brown. Janet's running around in a black sweatshirt and purpleflage pants. Guess who the other team always had trouble finding? ;)
 
If going to the range means shooting pistols... specifically your defensive pistols... you should wear what you normally wear when your packing. Be that Dockers or Jeans or a Suit.
For me that means jeans. Sometimes a sweatshirt, sometimes a bowling shirt, sometimes a sport coat. If you only shoot in BDU's you are not going to be used to where all your stuff is when you have to skin it and you are wearing your normal cloths.

Such practices are untactical.
 
Well, I pretty much only wear bdu's, unless I have a special reason to be dressed otherwise. I'm very into comfort, and can't beat the price/duability. I've had a few pairs of Royal Robbins, but I prefer the bdu's. Some are camo, some are solid colors. So, sometimes I do wear camo to the range. I don't make a special effort to do so, however.
 
i don't have range cloting, i wear whatever i'd normally be wearing.

Personally, i don't own any camo anything. Guess i'm not a militiasexual.
 
Nope, no camo for me either. Right or wrong it does project a mall ninja image that I want to avoid. I just wear whatever I normally wear on the weekend, jacket, shirt or sweatshirt depends on the time of year and jeans almost always.
 
I wear my regular pants(royal robbins) and make sure Im not wearing too nice of a shirt, grab my guns, and go. I usually dont make a special effort to wear a certain type of attire to the range.
 
Nope. Don't wanna go anywhere and look like a canteen commando. Be a ninja and disappear among the crowd.
 
Generally no, but on the super cold days I wear my super warm extra thick bibs and parka that the hubby got to keep me warm while deer hunting.
 
No

My typical uniform of the day when I go shooting is Jeans or some tactical thrift store corduroy pants, and usually a long sleeve tshirt.
 
Depends on the weather - my favorite light jacket is my DPM from Sportsmans guide - 9 pockets for $9. Got two for the price of one, too, as one didn't quite fit. Yeah, it's camo, but the pattern is quite a bit differant, and some have commented on it. Summer, no, don't have anythig that would work though I thought this one would be perfect - almost looks designer....fromt Trident Militaria. http://www.tridentmilitary.com/index.html
 
Yes.

Khakis (cargo or not) and a light or medium green or tan short-sleeve buttondown shirt with a disruptive tropical pattern (Hawaiian).

Desert-friendly urban camo :D
 
I don't understand you people. Camo serves a very real tactical purpose, just as firearms do. CCW is predicated on the idea that we don't know when or where we're going to run into trouble. Thus, I strive to be as tactical as possible 24/7. I wear camo BDUs over a carbon fiber tactical thong anytime I'm dressed, and I keep a marpat bathrobe by the bed for the times when the choice is that or untactical pink flesh. (The robe has a custom holster for the Lorcin built in.) A black balcava is my standard headwear, and I ALWAYS move across parking lots, through malls and such in three to five second rushes. Movement is compromised by the trauma plates duct taped to my back, but I'm not clarvoiant, and can't predict when I might need to be able to take multiple .308 hits to the back.

Anyone who calls me a wannabe simply doesn't understand the realities of mall security, or asset protection as we prefer to call it in the business.

The carbon fiber thong does chafe though.



Edited 'cause proof reading ain't tactical.
